Barkley Sound Amber Red

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: American Dark Lager
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foam with a frothy top fine to medium sized bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated dark orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty dirty and dough. The crisp mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt astringent sweet and Irish red malt. An OK brew just nothing special.

Pours a clear brown with a small white head. Slight malty aroma, but mostly just standard beer smells. Flavor is the same, not much character.

Bottle. Reddish amber color with a small white head that was gone quickly. Light sweet aroma. Light body with a thin texture. Light sweet malt flavor with no finish.

Bottle. Small white fizzy head that mostly diminished, no lacing, minimal carbonation, trnasparent, and an orange hue witih a red tint appearance. Nose and flavor were both very minimal with the only aroma and flavor I could detect was maltiness and that was even pushing it. Tingly mouthfeel and light body. Do not recommend.

2004 Autumn Brew Review: Prune Coloring. Ugh...Let the Smallest Part of Your Tongue Touch It and Find a Drain. Bad Malt.. I say no More.

Autumn Brew Review 2004. Light maroon color with a bit of a head. Kind of a stanky malt aroma followed up by an equally stanky malt taste. Super...

Somewhat reddish-brown. Little nose, flavor is I guess sweet, though saying "flavor" is really a pretty big stretch. This is probably good, as it came in a clear bottle. Didn’t know until I popped on to rate it that it was Gluek. Gee, what a shock. Another crappy beer out of Cold Spring.

Tasteless...very thin body...overly fizzy...no head...tasted more like sparkling water than beer. I can’t believe that this is classified as an American Dark Lager.
